Hello, I’m building my website in South Africa, for the South African market, so in ZAR. My business model is exclusively working on monthly subscription and it seems impossible to program it in South Africa. Shopify allows subscription plans only through Shopify payment (not available in SA), Paypal (doesn’t take into account the ZAR currency), Authorize.net (not availalble in SA) and Stripe (not available in SA). So it seems impossible to have subsctiption in South Africa with Shopify. If you have any solution, I would be happy to know. I worked hard on my website, everything is ready and it seems it won’t work just because of this. Please let me know, thank you,
Thank you for reaching out to the Community! I’m happy to provide some assistance with locating a payment gateway, to ensure this gets resolved.
To share some insight, Shopify has integrated with over 100 different third-party payment providers to allow you to continue accepting credit cards online. Due to this, I encourage you to check out this complete list of all available payment providers within South Africa.
For any questions that you may have regarding a specific payment provider, I encourage you to connect with them directly. They will be able to share more information with you and advise whether a subscription service is supported.
For more information on this, you can check our Third-Party Payment Providers documentation as it touches on this further.
Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
To ensure I’m fully understanding your request, could you provide a bit more details on what you’re looking to achieve? For example, are you looking to create a subscription app that would available on the Shopify App Store?
